Before all the hobby House's take over, I will suggest you see a doctor immediately.

Just prepare for bad news my friend and you won't be as shocked by what the Dr. has to tell you.

I will say what you described is exactly what my ACL and meniscus tears felt like the next day.

Let us know what it turns out to be once you see a Dr. and have the MRI done.

Good luck!

how long did it take to recover? hows it done surgery?

Yes, surgery is the answer for torn ACL and/or meniscus. I'm not concretely sure about recovery time, but I think 6-8 weeks is normal for people who are athletic, less if you're young.
